Quickly looking through the list of 45, it appeared this is the only community town square of ideas and all the others are extensions of firms (perhaps for marketing purposes). I have not visited them all so I could be wrong, in any case Congratulations!

I'm hoping the self congratulation is sarcasm–this is literally just a list of legal blogs in las vegas.

"The best Las Vegas Law blogs …"
Note the word "best" (PS I'm not associated with this site, just an occasional poster)

My law blog is a Third Tier Toilet, unranked. *Sigh*

Hey, a list is a list. Congrats! This raises a related question for the town square: what blogs have you found useful for practice in Nevada? I think Jay Young had something for awhile that was useful (I think he stopped when he ascended to the bench). I find Gina Bongiovi's is helpful to get bearings on small business things. I don't litigate, but I think past posts compliment someone's blog on procedure here. Keith Bishop's blog at Allen Matkins covers a lot of CA but also he's a fan of NV (and so in addition to corporate stuff, he's got great rural stories on occasion). Any others? Let's start our own list
I really enjoyed Mike Lowry's blog – Compelling Discovery. But he's retired from it now. If there's anything similar that would be cool

I just want to vent at how really problematic huge chunks of our bench are. Do not know the rules of evidence but are certain of their incorrect inclinations. Do not get decisions out for months. I am sooooo frustrated at having to tell my clients that the reason that it appeared to them as a layperson that the Court had no idea what it is doing is because……… well I do not want to violate the NRPC on dragging down our system of justice.
Hate to say this. But the latest crop of judges that were elected may be lacking in experience to handle significant cases and trials. The net result is that informed parties are taking their cases to mediators to get them resolved rather than risk trying them in front of amateurs. Sorry to say this. Maybe this is why Jay Young is leaving to mediate cases.
Jay Young is leaving May 31. He was a mediator before he took the bench and is returning to mediating. I have heard through the grapevine that he is the latest in a long line of judges who always dreamed of being a judge until they got inside the RJC and found such a dystopian, dysfunctional place that he can now say that he did it and now can go back to a much better life.
Congrats on the T-45LVLB rankings!

You're anonymous. Go for it.
Another master stroke by Telles. He is going to eat the prosecutor’s lunch at trial.
Shiny objects must keep you occupied for hours.
Squirrel!

Jay Young is leaving?

I always knew that he was smart. THAT is why I respect him.
I hope he reactivates his blog.
Amen. Used it all the time back in the day.
